Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (15 ml)
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips (450g)
  • 1 packet (1 ounce) fajita seasoning (28g)
  • 1 large red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 large yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (15ml)
  • 1 large bag (10-12 ounces) tortilla chips (300-350g)
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (225g)

Instructions:

  1. Toss chicken strips with fajita seasoning in a bowl.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C), about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  3. Add sliced bell peppers and onion to the same skillet. Cook until softened and slightly caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Add minced garlic during the last minute of cooking.
  4. Return cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir in lime juice and heat through.
  5. Spread tortilla chips in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  6. Sprinkle half of the cheese evenly over the chips. Top with chicken fajita mixture, then sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
  7. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Remove from oven and garnish with your favorite toppings (sour cream, guacamole, jalapenos, etc.). Serve immediately.
